As the result of a recently signed agreement with Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport Sharjah Branch (AASTS), YoungShip Turkey will provide training opportunities to the Academy’s students through internships and field trips as part of ongoing efforts to attract young talent to work in the maritime sector.
YoungShip has been at the forefront of creating opportunities for the next generation to learn and grow in the sector and build successful careers for themselves by connecting with some of the top organisations operating in the industry.
Commenting on the agreement, H.E. Dr. Ismail Abdel Ghaffar Ismail Farag, President of AASTS, said, “We are excited to collaborate with YoungShip as we believe that this partnership supports our objective of securing a bright future for our students. We are well aware of the kind of backing YoungShip offers to the younger generation of maritime professionals and are hopeful that our future leaders will be able to enhance their practical knowledge about the industry and develop skills necessary to build successful careers through the exposure they will have during internships at leading maritime organisations, and field trips to shipyards and ports.”
AASTS is confident that cooperation with YoungShip will create further opportunities for students to gain practical experience and learn from industry experts by working closely with them. Marwan Mubarak, President, YoungShip UAE, added, “Providing hands-on experience to the Academy’s students will result in these young talents being more prepared to drive the progress of our maritime companies and the industry as a whole. Therefore, we will benefit greatly from this partnership with AASTS. The Academy’s capabilities coupled with the practical exposure that we offer will enhance the capabilities of our next generation of maritime professionals and cement the UAE as leading global maritime hub.”
